Swiss trains are beautiful. MY father is a huge train enthusiast and particularly loves the ICN and Lok2000.

Myself, I love the London Underground. The new trains that are due to be rolled out in the coming years are very good looking, nothing on the Swiss trains though

The D.C. Metro is upping its prices so new ones are probably out of the question.

Britain's trains seriously suck. They're old, cramped, unreliable, and incredibly expensive. Just like all our public transport because it's all run by private companies. I hate it.

So here's some awesome trains.

I think all Swiss trains are electric, don't know about freight trains though.

Now I'm sure we can all agree Swiss trains are the best, but the most amazing thing is the schedules! Swiss trains are like always exactly on time, there's a train every 30 minutes, 1 express the first then a regional then an express and a regional in the opposite direction.

I love the Swiss transportation system.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

Do you also call the Helsinki metro a "particle accelerator"? You know, because every morning it accelerates the particles East, then in the afternoon West.

Nnnnnno?

Too bad freight trains always have graffiti on their cars. CSX trains are damn nice though.

These are for New Mexico, but the MARC in Maryland has the same locomotive:
